On February 24 we will advocate for the necessary – because the inevitable – convergence of several economic fields in a connected, virtual, data-driven world of digital realities. Beyond seeing each other mainly on digital communication platforms, all important economic sectors and activities – among them energy, finance, transportation, communication – advance towards digitalized realities which make the boundaries blurry and invite to similar approaches across all the fields.

We will address the hot topics of the moment for the Romanian and regional economies and societies, in 3 plenary sessions, for taking a competent look at the trends, leaders, solutions and synergies for industry, municipalities, and each of us. DigitALL 2021 aims at providing all those interested – Government, Parliament, local public authorities, regulators, external partners – with a common ground for future steps.
